It’s OK to be different week

St Mary’s hosted an ‘It’s OK to be different week’, based on the book of the same name by Todd Parr.  During the week, each class read a different text to focus their work.  There was also a chance to try some ‘mindfulness’ with our school counsellor and to take part in  some accessible sports, led by Coach Ben.  Parents and carers were also invited into school to learn a bit more about positive mental health from Devon’s Early Help for Mental Health team.   Training for our pupils who are going to become Mental Health Ambassadors also started during the week.
